Derek Nelson's EVEREST Fundraising Page

My sons are my heroes.  So I decided to do something BIG to honor my boys and to help those around the world who need assistance with the most basic human needs.  My sons Hayden and Braxton were born with severe hemophilia, a rare bleeding disorder.  Hemophilia presents challenges that sometimes seem like mountains, and seven years ago I lost my son Hayden to an opiod overdose when he was 21 years old.  I miss him every day.  

And while Braxton is now thriving, that hasn't always been the case.  My heart remembers the bleeding episodes and the pain that accompanies them, and my heart goes out to the parents around the world who do not have access to the treatments we have here in the United States.  

 

I've decided to step up my help.  Save One Life has been a positive force in my family's life, and our connections to this group have brought us many smiles over the years.  Save One Life gives my global hemophilia hope, and helps them to live better lives.  I've committed to raising $10,000 for this cause, and I thank you immensely for helping my hemophilia family around the world by supporting my adventure.  Sending many smiles your way :)
